Chapter 901 Burning Saudi Arabia
At this moment, the Saudi Ministry of Defense has become a mess. The two armored divisions were the first to be attacked, and the battle damage is still unknown. ??E novel ? ????????????????
Having just received intelligence from the US Pentagon, the Saudi Ministry of Defense also contacted all the troops as soon as possible to carry out air defense immediately.
In fact, the radars in Saudi Arabia also displayed incoming missiles. Even without the order of the Ministry of Defense, they all began to prepare for air defense.
But the air defense order was issued, but the missiles came too suddenly.
In the three large oil fields in Saudi Arabia, the nearby army has not responded yet, and the missiles that fell with the sound of seven times turned the three large oil fields into a sea of flames in an instant.
Dense missiles scattered down, letter attack ammunition, small bombs that fell like a torrential rain, and a large number of oil wells and oil depots covered the explosion radius.
The warhead of a missile is as high as 500 kilograms. Inside the warhead are dense sub-bombs, and the charge of each sub-bomb has reached two kilograms.
When a missile comes down, there are more than two hundred sub-bombs, and the killing range covers an area of tens of thousands of square meters.
Moreover, all the bombs are special explosives similar to solid incendiary bombs. The dense explosions formed a huge sea of flames, covering almost all oil field facilities.
A large number of workers in the oil field did not know what was going on, but the air defense siren sounded briefly, and then there was nothing.
The lucky ones may still have a chance to survive, while those who were unlucky have been directly swallowed by the flames of the explosion.
However, the real disaster was not the flames from these explosions, but that all the oilfield drilling wells were ignited by the fire.
All the crude oil burned under the flames, and the starlight that could still be seen was instantly covered by thick smoke, and the black curtain formed by the thick smoke instantly covered everyone's heads.
There are bright red flames everywhere, caused by the eyes. Plumes of smoke billowed everywhere on the entire land.
Crude oil seems to be sprayed everywhere, and the burning flame spreads in the oil field, and there will be violent explosions from time to time.
Under the billowing smoke, you can only see many staff members who are trying to put out the flames, but under such a raging fire. Then there is a large amount of crude oil that becomes the raw material for burning, which cannot be extinguished normally at all.
The spreading fire also ignited a large number of oil pipelines, especially those pipelines that were blown apart under the explosion. A large number of explosion sounds mainly came from these pipelines.
Although the surviving staff have tried every means to stop the spread of the disaster, all drilling work has been closed. All oil pipelines were also shut down. But the disaster was not well contained.
Contrast these fields, though. The ports of Tanulah Point and Port Vulaki are more like hell on earth.
A large number of missiles attacked the two ports, although the Saudi air defense missile force fired several Patriot air defense missiles and intercepted three attacking missiles. But the remaining missiles still destroyed two huge ports.
For the missile strikes in Saudi Arabia, most of the missiles are concentrated in these two ports.
Missiles attacking oil fields. The total is about sixty, and the number of missiles attacking the two ports is as many as one hundred.
In particular, the port at Cape Tanura has been given special attention. The anti-missiles attacking here are not cluster munitions, but penetration bombs with extremely destructive power. All oil depots.
A missile with a charge of 500 kilograms, coupled with the explosive power of the remaining fuel, turned all the oil depots into even more terrifying super bombs in just a blink of an eye.
The oil depots that were hit by the missiles also exploded with a bang. The power of the explosion of the large oil depots shattered even a large number of windows and doors in distant cities.
The huge sound and impact of the explosion caused a large number of staff in the port to be instantly shocked to death under the explosion.
Especially those underground oil depots, under the penetrating power of the missiles, went deep into the depots and exploded. Multiple underground oil depots were directly detonated, and the entire port seemed to be blown away.
A large number of facilities in the port were quickly submerged in the explosion, and the heat radiation brought by the burning crude oil quickly ignited a large number of surrounding houses and warehouses. The neatly placed barrels of crude oil are just like tanks. explosives.
In less than a minute, there was no safe place to be found in either port,
Even those ships docked at the port were all affected by the explosion, especially those tankers that were loading crude oil, all were affected by the explosion, and then burned up, and a second explosion may occur at any time.
The ships outside the port all left in a hurry, just like the port, there was chaos everywhere.
No one thought that such a situation would suddenly appear. The attack came so suddenly that no one could resist it.
In the port, there is hardly any complete place to be seen, and the sky has not yet been lit up, but the burning fire can be seen even if it is more than a hundred kilometers away.
The billowing smoke could be seen even two hundred kilometers away.
The pungent smell in the air filled all the nearby cities. Countless people were awakened by the sound of the explosion, and the broken glass casually caused some wounds to ordinary people.
In the city, there is chaos everywhere. The streets are full of terrified civilians, as well as various roaring police cars and fire engines.
All the military departments in the vicinity were dispatched urgently and joined the rescue team, but under such an attack, it was more futile.
However, for Saudi Arabia, the real disaster has just begun. Residents far away in Riyadh were just awakened by the explosion, and immediately heard the harsh air defense sirens.
At the same time, Riyadh's anti-aircraft firepower responded in a timely manner. A large number of anti-aircraft missiles took off and flew towards the missiles that fell rapidly in the sky.
The ground anti-aircraft weapons also sprayed out dense flames, hoping to block the falling missiles as much as possible.
However, there are too many missiles attacking Riyadh. There is no way to intercept all fifty missiles in one go.
This kind of attack, perhaps only the defensive circles of the capitals of those big countries can intercept all of them under the interception network.
However, Saudi Arabia does not have such an interception capability. Even the defense network in the metropolitan area is only the most basic two-layer interception mechanism.
The four Patriot anti-aircraft missile battalions have fired a dozen anti-aircraft missiles in salvo in just one minute, and the various anti-aircraft weapons of the two air defense brigades are all trying to lay down a barrage over the city. (To be continued.)
